TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trump TV,  the official White House YouTube channel, launched last night apparently partly in response to the press pool boycott of Trump’s major publicly facing activities. I tuned in this morning and it’s a mess.  I was subjected to a one-minute promo (set to the music of  the 1979 hit “Video Killed the Radio Star”) filled with snippets of shows like “Seinfeld,” “The Simpsons,” “Friends” and the movie “Home Alone.” My two immediate thoughts to the pre-roll video: so annoying, and did the White House secure the rights for the videos from the copyright holders? The channel didn’t provide live coverage of Trump’s UN speech this morning (carried by Fox News, MS NOW and Newsmax). It’s another embarrassment in a month of failures for the increasingly on-the-ropes president.  Worth noting: The channel already has more than three million subscribers....Four questions about Don Jr.’s wedding grift gift. (1) Exactly how much did Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev pay for the island rental where the May wedding was held and cost of the after-party fireworks? (2) Can we really trust Trump’s word that the money was repaid? After all, he fudged it by saying, “As I understand it, he paid it back.” (3) If there was nothing wrong with Don Jr. accepting the gift in the first place, as Trump claims, why was the money repaid? (4) According to various reports, Trump raked in at least $2 billion in 2025 through his various schemes. Why didn’t Papa pick up the tab? It's pocket change for him....Stupid but revealing Trump fact: When he’s being interviewed on television, he prefers to be shot from the right side so the thinning part in his ridiculous hairstyle doesn’t show, according to this NY Times article today. Memo to Trump: you’re not fooling anyone. Your thinning hair is a stylistic disaster no matter which side you’re presenting to the cameras...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Network News’ Trump Boycott Might Matter If Anyone Watched Network News

source: FrontPage

The media now claims it doesn’t have ‘usable’ footage of Trump to run on its network newscasts. This might be more of a problem if not for the fact that: (1) Nobody watches cable news or network news. Their ratings in the demo added together don’t even total 1% of the national population. (2) Their news stories didn’t consist entirely of attacks on Trump. (3) So  really whom is this hurting?
